The firm of Horn, Hart and Savage of Red Bluff was low bidder today when bids were opened by the State Highway Engineer for the construction of seven bridges and a weir across Pit River, on the Redding-Alturas lateral near Bieber, Lassen County.

The bid was $50,067.54 against an engineer's estimate of $64,331. Seven bids were submitted. Action probably will be taken by the highway commission at its next meeting, September 15th, in San Francisco.

Construction of the bridges will mean the final location of the state highway through Big Valley. Section connecting the bridges will be graded by the commission as soon as funds are available.
